Askarov To Tone Down Cellys…For Now

Free Yaroslav Askarov!

There’s a reason why Askarov’s shutout celebration after the San Jose Barracuda’s 5-0 home opener win seemed so much more muted…

…than his celly after the Cuda’s 5-0 season-opening shutout last week.

And both of these celebrations were certainly less flamboyant than Askarov’s famous bench press!

“Someone told me, try to be more quiet. Not quiet! But try to take it easy,” the top San Jose Sharks prospect said, smiling, when asked about his celebrations.

Askarov wouldn’t reveal who told him that, but he’s heeding the advice.

Don’t worry, he’s still going to celly. It’s clearly in his heart.

“It’s not disrespectful. I’m a goalie. Goalies can only celly right after the game. That’s why,” Askarov explained. “I can’t celly right after the save because I’m gonna look like a clown.”

But for now? Is Askarov really going to tone it down?

“Probably, yeah. We’ll see,” the future San Jose Sharks goalie grinned.

But how about for a special occasion?

“If someone’s gonna tell me you can do whatever you want, I’m gonna do it,” the showman said. “Some huge game. Do something crazy.”

It looks like San Jose Sharks fans have something to look forward to!

I wonder if it was Romanov who asked him to tone it down, the ‘Cuda lost the next game after the big celly at the Reigns HOME OPENER no less, they came out like they didn’t want to get embarrassed and beat Romanov

i don’t know how you’d track it, it would be really tedious but I wonder what the team record is for teams with Askarov the game after a big celly against the same team

Side note* I am a Bystedt truther and he looks like he’s already ahead of their UFA guy as the top ‘Cuda center i didnt think he took a step back last year, I thought after winning SHL rookie of the year he had a bit of a sophomore slump playing higher in the lineup and a lot tougher matchups in the SHL. And at the WJC he was the second line Center and he carried his line and ate a ton of minutes . They had loaded up the wingers on the first and third line and left Bystedt… Read more »

Round it out why not Kasper was a guy I thought should go back to to OHL … But watching him, he’s way too physically strong to not be playing against men. He crushed some guys like it was nothing. He needs to round out a bit but he seems like he developed a big step during last years plays offs, it wasn’t just empty goal scoring. I don’t know what his ceiling is but he’s so strong that when he’s 25 he’s going to be a huge problem Askarov has some awesome poise and awareness, I haven’t watched him… Read more »

Furlong looks like he’s going to make Thrun expendable

I don’t see what others do in Thrun. He’s never looked quick enough physically or mentally to help an NHL team, and he’s not young enough anymore to claim that’s going to change dramatically. He’s behind Mario, Ceci and Walman, and about equal to Vlasic, Benning and Rutta on a depth chart where no one is better than a 4/5 defenseman on a good team. I would gladly take a 5th round pick for him now, similar to what they did with Okhotiuk.
